John: According to the most recent polls, this race is a dead heat – but only if this team can hit our ambitious fundraising goals. And here's where things currently stand with our critical mid-month goal:

Listen, we have an incredible opportunity to secure a historic victory in California and expand Democrats’ Senate majority, so we can't afford to fall short now, John.

Barbara Lee has proven time and time again that she will never waver in her fight for what's right – and with economic injustice soaring, an all-out assault on reproductive rights and the filibuster continuing to get in the way of true progress, she is exactly the progressive fighter we need in the Senate.

But all of these reasons are precisely why Fox News and MAGA extremists are attacking Rep. Lee – and why we know their attacks won't slow down anytime soon.

John, polling shows that Barbara Lee is statistically tied with two others in this race among informed voters – but between Fox News' disingenuous attacks and the steep fundraising deficit that Rep. Lee is currently facing, she's counting on your help to pull ahead.

Missing this goal means making tough decisions, like pulling back our efforts to reach California voters. And, in a race this competitive, these tough decisions could be catastrophic to our movement to send Barbara Lee to the Senate.

So please, John, will you rush $5 or more right now to help Barbara Lee close her current fundraising gap, win in California and build a progressive future for all of us?

Thank you for being such an integral part of this team.

– Team Lee
